Seems like a valid issue to take upstream. Especially since Red Hat now
uses the centos repo to provide their sources to the public.

It is possible to get a free RH developer account (speaking of
transparency, it took me a while to find the right banner to click on to
actually get that free account ;p ), but the source code is only
provided as 2 dvds and it is unclear to me where to find sources for
updated packages. Or perhaps you have to download 2 dvds every time they
update that image. Ouch.

Regards,
Leonard.
